Faculty members from the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing were honored in four award categories—mentorship, creative leadership, health information dissemination, and education—during the 2016 Maryland Nurses Association’s (MNA) annual convention, Oct. 13-14.

Michael Sanchez, DNP, ARNP, NP-C, FNP-BC, AAHIVS—Outstanding Mentorship Award

Janiece Walker, PhD, MSN, RN—Outstanding Pathfinder Award

The recipient has pioneered in innovation in nursing or developed creative approaches to further nursing’s agenda.

Audra Rankin, DNP, APRN, CPNP—Outstanding Dissemination of Health Information

Presented in recognition of achievements in the dissemination of health information to the public.  Coverage may include illness prevention or wellness promotion.  

Nancy Sullivan, DNP, RN—Outstanding Nurse Educator Award

This award is given to a nurse educator who has provided others with exceptional educational opportunities.

“These faculty members model excellence as leaders, mentors, researchers, educators, and nurses,” says Dean Patricia Davidson, PhD, MEd, RN, FAAN. “In a time of nursing and faculty shortages, it’s important to recruit faculty that are highly recognized for their expertise and committed to educating the next generation. The MNA recognition is a commendable validation of their effort and achievement.”

With a mission to provide resources and development opportunities for nurses, the MNA also offers JHSON faculty and students another avenue to support local nurses and health care policy within Maryland.
